Face Value

Can we change our own 'Face Value'? In China, it is a trend to do plastic-surgery to look nice for a multitude of reasons-get a job, life-partner or be famous in the entertainment industry. In Malaysia, certain companies use Digital Physiognomy to decide whether to employ certain potential employees irrespective of whether they are for management or rank and file. It looks like we need to change our perception about the statement "Beauty is only skin deep!" Beauty is actually Pocket deep! It is sad to hear of cases for instance, where a 'cleaner' failed to get her probation confirmed due to her manly features! I can foresee 'SPERM-BANKS' will be doing brisk business in providing a service to meet the discerning rich who can afford to pre-determine the looks of their offsprings.

SEE, SMELL AND SAVOUR

When I did 'Wine-tasting', there were the 3 s to observe; SEE, SMELL and SAVOUR. So what do I do when my wife asked me this morning to do ' ASSAM LAKSA-TASTING?' I applied the same approach. The colour of the soup was right, the aroma was salivating, and the taste.....yummy! Don't get me wrong, she's no Hawker in Air Itam in Penang, but a Cake Artist with a passion for 'sweet challenges'.......but she's also born with a 'wok' on the back of her head.(that's what the Feng Shui Master said of her!) She had specially prepared the Assam Laksa together with Durian Puffs as her contribution to the Potluck Lunch Gathering for her gang of Cake Decorators/Designers.
